Grammar!

[EA]

I am the world's worst with grammar.

Some mistakes that drive me crazy?

zinc (sink)
plublic (public)

and then he, like, and then she, like

"Jesus is the friend that sticks closer than a brother!"

No, He's not. That verse has nothing to do with Jesus.

Could be worse. We saw a Publix (supermarket) sign in Orlando with the "l" burnt out.

* Vil-i-gant (vig-i-lant)
* Snuck (sneaked)
* I feel nauseous (I feel nauseated)

Nauseous means "causing nausea," not "feeling nausea." So what they're literally saying is, "I cause nausea."

You really should read the whole massive thread, it's entertaining.

Okay, now I'm curious...I know the verse isn't specifically about Jesus, but it can't be applied to Him?

Btw, I'm absolutely TERRIBLE about saying [cringe] "wadn't" instead of "wasn't." Dear Lord, I want to kick myself everytime it comes out of my mouth. It's that lazy southern speak that AQP was talking about. Put "wadn't" together with "wall ago" and I can sound like a real hick.

I have managed to kick the habit of saying "fixin' to."

Not me. I'm still 'fixin' to' all the time.

I cringe at myself pretty often when I realize what I just said.

In this area of the country, they say, "He made a preacher", which means he became a preacher. Or "she's making a teacher". Drives me nutso - I'd never heard this anywhere else in my life until I came to West TN.
